A Lost Summer.

We scarce could tell the hour sweet summer
died,
Nature told on her rosary of flowers,
Pale lily, rose and purple pansies pied,
And birds still sang as in springs banished
hours.
But yet we know the soul of summer has fled
That requiem winds in murmurs hoarse and
rude
Would chant above the grave of fowerets
Dead
And strew with leaves the haunted solitude.
SO from my heart in grief love vanished,
And hope still spread anew her phantom
feast
For the dear guest whom reason told was dead.
And Life's fair temple lacked its white-r robed
priest.

TRAIN ROBBERS.

Robbers Attack Southern Pacific Express
Train In Arizona-They Bring the Train
Men to Time With Dynamite - The
Amount Secured Not Large.
Tucson, AriZ., April 29.-The Southern
Pacific western bound express, due here 1t
1O.So last evening, was stopped and robbed
at Papago station, sixteen miles east of
here, about 9:30 o'clock Wednesday even
ing. The number of men engaged in the
robbery is variously estimated from five to
eight Cal Harper, the engineer, when ap-
preaching Papago, a side station, was sig
nailed by red lantern to stop. He slowed
down, and, as he approached the
light he noticed Instructions on the
track so placed that in case he
failed to stop the engine would spread the
track and derail itself. Immediately on
stopping dozen or more shots were fired
into the express car, ana man with pis-
tol in each hand boarded the locomotive
and commanded Harper not to get down.
The other robbers had in the meantime
been prying at the express car door, and
failing to get it open they placed a stick Of
giant powder under it and compelled Har-
per to light the fuse attached. This he
was Obliged to do, but to avoid being blown
up, the messenger opened tho car and the
robbers took possession After ex-
tinguishing the fuse the men took
charge Of the car, uncoupled the engine,
baggage and express car from the remain
der Of the train and made Harper get on
the engine and pull ahead two lengths.
This being done, Harper was again put on
and the robbers took charge Of the engine
and pulled six miles toward Tucson. Here
they killed the engine and left it. During
the run the robbers wont through the mail
and express cars, but did not get more than
5000. They got two packages of railroad
money, one OF $l220 and the other of $500,
and also two packages of postage stamps
going 10 the post-ofiice at San Francisco. 1t
IS reported that the express messenger
threw S3, 800 in gold into q stove, and so
saved it from the robbers. Nothing was
known here OF the affair until past mid
night, when telegram was received from
Pantano-a brakeman having walked back
eight miles to that place. A special was
sent down and the train brought in at six
o'clock yesterday morning. None Of
some of them knew nothing Of the
trouble Until after their arrival here. I'm
der Sheriff Shibell was early at the scene
of trouble, but could discover nothing that
would lead TO the identity Of the robbers.
Ten trailers under Deputy Sheriff NJ. F.
Shaw have left for the scene of the trouble.
The robbers are believed to Oe discharged
railroad employees, although they compelled
Engineer Harper to show them how to
handle the locomotive. 1t is believed by
their actions in handling the tram that they
were familiar with such work.

FISHERY PERPIEXITIES.
The Value of Alaska Seal Fisheries Neces
sitates a temperate Course.


sitates a temperate Course.
WASHINGTON, April 2y.-The Department
of State is carefully considering the Ques-
tion of the jurisdiction of the United States
over the Alaskan fur seal fisheries. The
statement made in the Canadian Parlia-
ment yesterday to the effect that conf
munication on the subject lad been sent by
that Government to Secretary Ba ~Nrd is
denied by the State Department, and it is
said that all of the correspondence touch
ing fisheries has been carried on directly
with the Government OF Great Britain.
This fact, it is believed, will ex-
plain the delay in hearing from the
State Department, of which complaint
has been made at Ottawa. The United
States laws under which certain Brit
ish Columbian vessels were seized by the
revenue cutter Corwin last season are more
than twenty years old, and the question of
a conflict between them and the law of ma
tions is one peculiarly knotty and difficult
of settlement. The fact that the question
has been raised strengthens the Depart
ment of State in its determination to con-
tinue to pursue the temperate course it has
so far followed in the negotiations with
Great Britain concerning the Canadian
fisheries. The vast Alaskan fisheries
are thought to be quite as important to
this country as are the Nova Scotian in
shore fisheries, and the State Department
Is necessarily obliged to so shape its con-
structIon of laws and treaties as TO pre-.
serve the right of the United States to the
exclusive enjoyment of the Alaskan
fisheries, while maintaining the treaty
rights of our fishermen in North American
waters. 1t is held that there can not be
two constructions of the laws, and any
position assumed by the department must
apply equally to Atlantic and Pacific
